Moto GP, Round 17 - Estoril

jhansen · 27 Oct 2010, 15:18 (Ref:2781182)

Two races to go. Lorenzo vs. Stoner vs. Rossi for the last two race wins.

Checa in, Kallio out at the last two rounds. I think he wont do much better...

125 still looks interesting.

Oh yeah, how bout some posting in here for once?

I start with the times of the races so bear with me for those in UK land and this will be in a sight different order to normal at 11.00am GMT the 40 bikes of Moto2 will start the racing off at 11.00am follow by the main event at 1.00pm then last but no means least the 125cc at 2.15pm.

jhansen · 30 Oct 2010, 03:38 (Ref:2782403)

Rainy day 1. Hopefully the weather will be better for the weekend.

**ghinzani** · 30 Oct 2010, 06:47 (Ref:2782423)

It's on BBC HD if you can stomach the Cox suckers commentary. I cant.

chunder · 30 Oct 2010, 09:32 (Ref:2782460)

Haha, for once Ghinz I wholeheartedly agree.

skells22 · 30 Oct 2010, 12:03 (Ref:2782513)

very wet, a delay to find out who is on pole. i wonder how long will this delay take.

skells22 · 30 Oct 2010, 12:04 (Ref:2782516)

The grid will probably be determined by combined practice times, which would be -

Lorenzo
Hayden
Rossi
Stoner
Spies
Melandri

skells22 · 30 Oct 2010, 13:32 (Ref:2782536)

it has been postponed and every grid will set up by free practice times so Euro sport has to fill the 3.10pm slot.

**gomick** · 31 Oct 2010, 09:20 (Ref:2782853)

Is it wet on race day?

**Dani Filth** · 31 Oct 2010, 10:09 (Ref:2782872)

it rained .. but it seems to be drying now ..
not sure if there is a chance of "new" rain

**Dani Filth** · 31 Oct 2010, 11:53 (Ref:2782903)

focking stupid iannone .. had the race almost won from the last grid lane and drops it ..

also sorry for Kenan .. don't know exactly what was his problem but he sure was ****ed

**Dani Filth** · 31 Oct 2010, 12:01 (Ref:2782905)

le ..
i'm gonna start e petition:
bring Sofuoglu, Laverty and Lascorz in Moto2
who's with me ??

**ghinzani** · 31 Oct 2010, 12:15 (Ref:2782910)

Superglue mullahed his tyres going toi quick, too soon I reckon. Although I'm sure the handlebars didn't help. What a race tho, pleased for Baldolini and Bradl, DeAngelis class showed thru for third, but what a battle - good runs from aegeurter, de Rosa, redding and if course the oft maligned Westy. Stunning!

skells22 · 31 Oct 2010, 12:56 (Ref:2782920)

just been told from Autosport that Spies just had a crash before the race started and has injured himself to boot

GORDON STREETER · 31 Oct 2010, 14:34 (Ref:2782961)

Interesting race for 3rd spot, but when Stoner fell off I just knew it was going to be boring for 1st. Can he do it on a Ducati ? that's the million dollar question !

Hazza · 31 Oct 2010, 15:13 (Ref:2782969)

These 125s are a real hoot!

jhansen · 31 Oct 2010, 17:22 (Ref:2783018)

Well, the race for 1st was a bit anticlimactic. I thought it was going to be a tussle, but once Lorenzo went past it just got dull. Thankfully the race for 3rd was good.

Latest release says Spies will try and race at Valencia, but more importantly he wants to be able to test. Possible early bow for Crutchlow me thinks.

Moto 2 and 125s were epic.

**ghinzani** · 31 Oct 2010, 19:58 (Ref:2783102)

Marcs win in 125 was more than epic, another sign of his Alien status I think. I wish a Moto GP team would sign him up on a long term deal, I assume he will go to Moto2, which sort of makes it a race for 2nd now, but I would laugh if as had been suggested he stayed in 125 for the last year, that would foil the plans of Apar/Terol/Bancaja.

**gomick** · 31 Oct 2010, 20:09 (Ref:2783107)

Casey - your a crasher

chunder · 31 Oct 2010, 22:56 (Ref:2783170)

Stoner is a bit win or crash right now! LIke Iannone

Bit hard the comments for Kenan, he had no dry running time and the team probably got the setup wrong for dry.

Redding was excellent, as was Marques in 125, he is definately the next alien.

West was riding for a contract, as were the likes of Bradl, Aergeter and loads in that race, was a setup lottery.

**ghinzani** · 31 Oct 2010, 23:18 (Ref:2783176)

Did you see Marques 2nd start? 17th to 5th is like Gilles Villeneuve... the boy is simply unreal. Like Alzamora cutaway during the podium, he was holding back the waterworks with his Mrs in a similar state. I hope the Ayo team get to step up to Moto2 next year with him, currently Dorna want them to stay in 125 and aren't giving them an entry, allegedly.

chunder · 1 Nov 2010, 00:03 (Ref:2783185)

You cant refuse someone an entry anyway,

they can refuse AJO an entry into Moto2 if the grid is already subscribed though. I would imagine it will be with a lot of teams going up to 2 riders.

**ghinzani** · 1 Nov 2010, 00:20 (Ref:2783189)

They ain't on the first draft of the list, but there's still a few more spaces to be assigned.

**ghinzani** · 1 Nov 2010, 10:57 (Ref:2783317)

Danny Kents manager Roger Burnett has apparently arranged a deal for him to ride a 'good' Aprilia next year, team TBA. Danny Webb meanwhile is wanted by Aspar but not Bancaja etc. It's a shame Kent isn't hooking up with Barthols KTM trojan horse project next year, he's young enough to gamble a year on something different. Then again he's test ridden it so maybe its pony.. He looks, given his showings on an old Italian Honda labelled as a Lambretta, to be a very good prospect.
